Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 07, 2022

“So … there’s no point to me wearing this anymore, I suppose.” “… at least not in the house. Hmm. Maybe if I go next door … or to the store.”

That still leaves all of the walls.

sheesh … saying it with such cold blood…

I’ve heard of a pencil-neck, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a pencil-head.

You just wait until the grandkids come to visit. There will be drawing paper around here or my name’s not Liverlips McCracken. And then you’ll see some grandparent/grandchild bonding like you read about!

Stewart has been “lead” astray.

Oh go ahead Stewart, draw on the wall. You know you want to…..

Stewart isn’t as sharp as he thinks he is….

After all, Belinda does have a point, even if he can’t really see it.

She has to draw the line somewhere…. he’ll never make his mark on the world this way!

Come on, Stewart… get the lead out!

,

He is also known as Lead-head!

It’s not that Evelyn minds Stewart writing notes and the occasional sonnet, its when he pulls out his big pink eraser things get a bit crazy.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Good morning everyone. Be well.

You too, Ronnie!

A newspaper will do.

Hopefully Stewart will draw on past experiences and figure out the next step…unless he draws a blank.

He just wants to make his mark; he’s no eraser-head…

Any relation to Zippy?

Hi Happy!

You think a pencil that big is not DESIGNED to draw on newspaper?

Get a step ladder Stewart, I think you have a bit of Michelangelo’s talent in you.

When does he get together with Eraserhead?

Stewart sharpened up in vain today!

Looking sharp there, Stewart!

Mr. Van Amerongen Always makes me laugh out loud
